SANITARY COOKING VESSEL.

Specificationof Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, '1919.

Application filed June 19, 1917. Serial No. 175,a54.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLAF M. OLSEN, 'a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary CookingVessels; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertain's to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in cooking vessels andparticularly to lids or covers therefor.

One object of the present invention is to provide alid or cover for acooking vessel which is capable of being used as a dish or plate whenremoved from thevessel.

Another object is to provide a cover rly fit into the vessel wherewhichwill-prop:

e liquid contents of the vesdown the side I .of'the vessel onto thestove, is obviated.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription-when taken in, connection with the accompanying drawing..jIn the drawing: y

g Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cooking vessel and lid made inaccordance with my invention.

' Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view through the vessel andlid.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the lid removed from the vessel andinverted for use as a' an or plate.

Re erring particularly to the accompanying drawing 10 represents the"body of t e cooking vessel which to and from the stove. The upper edgeof the vessel is flared outwardly, as at 12, and.

seated within the lower portion of the flared art is the lid or cover13. The cover is sel and inverted, it forms a convenient pan or. platewhich is adapted for various puris formed with a pourin lip 12' isprovided with the v handles 11 for lifting and carrying the same poses.The bottom edge of the wall 15 is turned to extend at an acute angle tothe edge of the wall and is adapted to fit snugly against the inner faceof the flared portion of the vessel mouth and rest on the ledge '16which extends horizontally inwardly from the lower end of the flaredportion. The inner edge 16 of the ledge 16 is turned upwardly and isspaced from the wall 15 when the lid or cover is in place. Thus acircular gutter is produced into which condensation of steam and greasewill be collected as it flows down the inner face of the wall 15, saidportion being shown at 16. One side of the flange 15 has secured theretoa handle 17 which extends radially from the said edge. The flared mouthof the vessel at one side iametrically oppoand a notch 18 at, the

of which the said site side, in the latter 'handle 17 is adapted to beseated'whenthe cover is in proper position on the. vessel and within theflared mouth thereof. It will be noted that the lower edge of the cover,when seated within the mouth of the vessel, is disposed a distance belowthe pe ripherel edge thereof, and outwardly of the upturned edge of theledge 16, thus provid-' ing a gutter which will prevent the overflowingof the contents of the vessel when it reaches the boiling point. It willalso be noted that the bottom of the notch 18 is practically of theupturned portion 16 of the-ledge 16, whereby condensation of grease orsteam will'not overflow through said notch should any of saidcondensation pass beneath the flange 15 of cover, when said cover isseated on said ledge.

y The u per side of the cover being flat will permit t e cover, wheninverted, to lie flatly on a table or stove top, whereby the cover maybe conveniently used for the purpose of'frying other articles of food,or may be used to receive the cooked food from the vessel.

What is claimed is: v I

A cooking vessel including a receptacle having an upwardly and outwardlyflared month, said mouth being formed with a on a level with the upperedge pouring lip and a notch at a point diametrically opposite to the lian inwardly extending ledge formed on t e wall of the receptacle at thebottom of the flared portion and having its edge portion turnedupwardly, and a cover in the form of an inverted frying pan disposed toseat its mouth on said ledge and. outwardly of the upturned memes edgethereof, said cover having a handle disposed through said notch.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
